According to Bala Hassan - Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) in charge of Zone 2, comprising Lagos and Ogun, to avoid the killing of people through accidental discharges, policemen, who abuse alcohol and drugs, will no longer be given arms.
He made this known yesterday at the Police College, Ikeja during the launch of medical kits for urine drug test, and mass screening for hypertension and diabetes.
Officers found wanting would be rehabilitated before they are entrusted with the duty of protecting lives and properties. “These officers and men need to be very healthy, fit and safe in order to be able to carry out these statutory duties,” he said.
